Toyota Prado diesel shakes and rattles

I've just bought a 2008 Toyota Prado diesel auto that has done 100,000km. It's great, except for the first five minutes or so after I start driving in the morning when I'm at traffic lights and the car is stationary and the bonnet really shakes and rattles. Once it's warmed up there is no issue. Your thoughts please?

I'd be looking at the fuel system and having the fuel-injectors checked.
